An Amsterdam apartment building’s central courtyard appears to have been initially created when a fence was built to separate the courtyard from the adjacent sidewalk. Eking out the maximum amount of private space for the courtyard from the public sidewalk created this nook, a remnant of the space between one of the building’s entrances and the newly-erected fence. 

This space now houses various sizes and colors of plastic chairs, presumably meant to be used by the building’s inhabitants when relaxing in it’s courtyard.
